  • Patent number: 7562758
    Abstract: A safety device is provided for transport systems such as walkways and stairs that include moving elements (1, 2) with longitudinal movements and in which one of the moving elements (1, 2) may undergo tilting movements in relation to an operating direction. A safety counter-guide (7) is arranged on the moving elements (1, 2) and prevents the upward tilting of the moving elements (1, 2). The safety counter-guide also includes a lower sensor (8) in the form of a band that generates a stop signal for the system upon coming into contact with moving elements (1, 2). Since the moving elements (1, 2) cannot tilt in an upwards direction, possible risks both for the user and for the mechanical system are prevented.

  • Patent number: 7552812
    Abstract: The invention relates to a safety device for moving handrails consisting of a stop (5), arranged at the entrance of the handrail (1) assembled on a fixed railing (3) finishing the handrail, the stop (5) being connected to a rod (7) which can move longitudinally and is retractable against a spring (9), the device comprising a hinged outer lid (15) having locking pawls (19) for an inner lid (18), such that the outer lid (15) automatically tends to the open position due to the effect of the springs (17) affecting the hinge (16) when the stop (5) is retracted and the lock (10) of the latter are released, whereas the inner lid (18), upon being released, also tends to the open position by simple gravity. In this way when a user does not let go of the handrail (1) when it penetrates the railing (3), he or she drives the stop (5) with his or her hand and the lids (15) and (18) are automatically opened, preventing injury to the hand of the user and causing the stop of the handrail through a microswitch (23).

  • Publication number: 20080164118
    Abstract: The invention relates to a safety device for transport systems comprising walkways and stairs by means of moving elements (1, 2) with longitudinal movements in which there is the possibility that said moving elements (1, 2) undergo tilting movements in relation to an operating direction. A safety counter-guide (7) is arranged on the moving elements (1, 2), preventing the upwards tilting of the moving elements (1, 2) and further having a lower sensor (8) in the form of a band that generates a stop signal for the system upon coming into with moving elements (1, 2). Therefore the moving elements (1, 2) cannot tilt in an upwards direction, preventing possible risks both for the user and for the mechanical system, and due to a possible tendency to said tilting caused by any anomaly, the system is automatically stopped.
